After last night’s VMAs, Prince announced that he will be releasing not one, but _two_ full albums of new music next month. The first album, _ART OFFICIAL AGE_, is a classic Prince album featuring funky soulful new work by the musical icon, including single [“Breakfast Can Wait”](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/10/11/you-have-to-see-this-princes-breakfast-can-wait/); the release will mark his 33rd studio album (and 37th overall). The other album, _PLECTRUMELECTRUM,_ was made in collaboration with his new funk rock band, 3rdEyeGirl. Both albums will be released on September 30th. The albums will both be released on Warner Bros. Records, which marks Prince’s return to the label who signed the artist way back in 1976 on the strength of a demo tape. The relationship lasted for 20 years, until 1996’s _Chaos and Disorder_. During his long feud with the label, he stopped using his name in favor of an unpronounceable symbol and rushed out mediocre albums to meet contractual obligations. Prince marked the end of his relationship with Warner Bros. with _Emancipation,_ a three-hour, three-CD set of songs released on his own NPG Label. The relationship between Warner and Prince was apparently salvaged when the label returned the master recordings of Prince’s early ’80s albums, including _Dirty Mind_, _1999_, _Purple Rain_ and _Sign ‘O’ the Times_ to the artist. With that move, Prince’s NPG Music Publishing, which was launched in April, controls the majority of his publishing catalog. The release of the two new albums will be accompanied by a series of “very special events taking place globally,” according to a news release. That means more shows and, as fans know, Prince’s live shows aren’t to be missed. Both albums are [available for pre-order](http://preorder.artofficialage.com) now. **Track list for** **_ART OFFICIAL AGE_** **:**  1\. Art Official Cage 2\. Clouds 3\. Breakdown 4\.
